Scoring: IMP

East opens 1♣ (3+ suit, presumably)


How do we bid to 6D/6NT? Even worse, can we get it played from the North?
I once yelled at my partner for discarding the 'wrong' card when he was subjected to a squeeze that I allowed by giving the wrong count with too high a card. Now he's allowed to pitch aces when the opponents have the king in the dummy. At trick 2. When he could have followed suit. And blame me.

After east opens 1C:

1D-1S
3D-3H
3N-4D
5C-6D

I think everything is clear except bidding 5C, since not having the diamond A is such a huge, huge negative for slam. If he bid 5D instead, I would pass with the other hand.

After south bids 3N you can't rightside anyway.

I want to add that if west has a balanced yarb I think it's pretty obvious to lead a heart on this auction, so this is definitely a bad slam played by south.

You deifnitely can't get NT played from the North. How silly would it be to find dummy held Qx Kx AKxxxxx Jx ?

No way to reach 6 ♦/6NT from north, but after 1 ♦ ... 3♦ I would get to 6 ♦.
Kind Regards
